On this date in 1934, President Roosevelt stopped by the Grand Coulee Dam to check on the progress. At the time it was to be a low dam of hydroelectric purposes only. He toured the land and stopped and gave a brief speech to the estimated 20,000 in attendance. He would return three years later and marvel at all that had been done, by that time the project was to build the high dam. Tonight a recent photo of the Grand Coulee Dam.Friday, August 3, 2012
